Dennis Whittaker & Janet M. Nash restored this cemetery (2003).
Headstones and monuments, were reset, broken and cracked headstones
were repaired. This project took started in the spring and was not
completed until late fall. Janet M. Nash was also the fund raiser for
this project, and helped Dennis Whittaker with monument repair, clean
up of cemetery, recording inscriptions, and made a map of headstone
location. Mike Munch helped lift some of the heavy
monuments. James Weaver helped remove debris and help at some of
the finishing touches needed after restoring the cemetery.
Donations of money and materials for restoring the cemetery were made
by Janet M. Nash,
Florence Starr,
Elaine Crispell Genung, Anna Hines, Cindy Whittaker, Duree Evans and
JanMarie.
A thank you to all of the people that bought books from JanMarie,
all profit went to the Cemetery Clean Up Project.
Thank you Barry Goodrich for making a new gate for the cemetery.
Thank you Greg Harrington for keeping the cemetery mowed for many
years. The Town of Caroline is know taking care of hiring the
mowing done 3 times a year.
Elmer Lockwood recorded the headstone inscriptions of this cemetery in
the year of 1960. I have used his records as a reference when the
headstone could not be read or found. Mr. Lockwood
did not record all headstone inscriptions of this cemetery. Dora Pope
Worden also recorded headstone inscriptions of this cemetery in the
1920's, but she missed some of the burials too. By
walking in this cemetery, it is clear there are still many unmarked
graves. This cemetery record was recorded from the headstone
inscriptions on June 13, 2001 - by JanMarie & Cathy Knauff, and
updated in the summer of 2003 while the cemetery was being restored.
More burials which are unmarked were added from The Town of Caroline
death and burial records for the years of 1914-1958.
Research was done by Janet M. Nash.
